Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II vs. Absolute Copper IC's

Just replaced my Wells Majestic integrated with a Hegel H390. I've been using A. Zen Silver Reference with the very warm-sounding Wells and have a feeling the more neutral voicing of the Hegel might be better matched with copper cables. 

I'm not sure whether to go with the Matrix or the Absolute Copper and am wondering whether anyone can comment on the differences between these two.

I have used the AZ Matrix IIs, Silver Reference, and the Absolute Coppers and Silvers. I ended up with Absolute Copper. I note that the Absolute Silver is no longer available - not sure why. Don’t generally care for silver ICs or speaker wiring and this time was no exception. That doesn’t mean it won’t work for you in your system.

One thing I would add is you have no idea what your cable sounds like unless you use a cable burner. I like the Audio Dharma. Oh, and cables benefit from a reburn every 6-12 months too.

Good luck.
